Nitter is shutting down
At this point I'm impressed by how much effort Twitter devs must've have put into making the site shittier and less accessible.

The last part of your comment sounds like an ad straight out of those overlong YT videos.

ISP to Supreme Court: We shouldn’t have to disconnect users accused of piracy
Absolutely the correct stance, nothing dirty about it. At this point, for better and for worse, the Internet is a basic necessity. Imagine having your water turned off because you threw water balloons at your neighbour.

What surprises me isn't that AI failed, what surprises me is that Zuckerberg believes in his own hyping of AI so much he had the confidence to try to do this at all, live, unstaged. Is this courage, honesty, stupidity, hubris?
The most favourable explanation I can think of is that they tried it out ahead of the presentation, it worked well enough, so they trusted it could be repeated.

"what did students do before chatgpt?"
Is this supposed to be an actual quote? Like, someone said this unironically?

It's from https://boards.4chan.org/r9k/thread/79241078, it does seem real, apparently he's been sporadically posting about his job for some time.

During the campaign I've seen Walz described as down-to-earth, approachable and attractive to the working class voter base.

Yeah, like, if Musk is telling the truth here, that means has been protecting a child rapist for months.

They won't defend it, they'll just ignore it and keep talking about US being bad.

New Advertisement and Internet connection permissions for Simple SMS Messenger on Google Play Store...
Damn, how did I even manage to miss that Simple apps have been bought off? I've used them for years and am still subscribed to the reddit community...
Some people suggest the action could possibly be deemed illegal, by breaking the licence the project was made under.

framed rule
I was suspicious at first too, but now as weird as the whole scenario looks my skepticism has weakened (e.g. people say he's been missing from work during the shooting, the unibrow may have been simply visually deformed by the shitty camera, etc.).
But you know what, I think it's better to stop trying to be smarter than what is reasonably possible, and at the very least wait and see what he and his lawyer will have to say in the court. E.g. if the evidence was fabricated, they will certainly try to argue that. Not everything about the story will clear up, but some things can, and I say it's better to wait it out with a bit of patience.
Besides, what if it really wasn't Luigi and we've all been duped? How will the fanboys and fangirls lusting after him feel? What will the smart businessmen do with their leftover Saint Luigi candles?

I do have to admit it's a bit disheartening to post that pic, and then people react to it by looking how to use the objects to 'hack' the nature of reality.

This is an important point in general. The old story of "voting with your wallet" is now more and more obviously mathematically absurd.

every post war consensus policy in regards to collectivizing power from the wealthy and redistributing to everyone else
Am I reading this pretentious word salad right? Is this guy saying that communism has been the political consensus in the US since the fucking WW2?
And by god is he trying to show off he has read two or three books in his life with that vocabulary.

Another Wikipedia Admin Caught Making PR Edits
Reply in thread
The issue that the article raises is legitimate, but actually looking through their archives is baffling, they're really just hellbent on shitting on WP. One of their most read articles says Wikipedia should attract more female editors by reducing the anonymity on the site and making it more like a social media platform. What the hell? https://wikipediocracy.com/why-women-have-no-time-for-wikipedia/
